Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures: A case series

Manifestation of abnormal excessive synchronous cortical activity, which is what defines epileptic seizures, is typically absent in seizures with psychological etiology, a heterogeneous set of factors that have been identified. Distinguishing psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) from epileptic s...
